TYLOO send Astralis packing from EWC

It was a series to forget for Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz, as he bottomed out the scoreboard for his team with a 0.93 rating. "Just really sad or frustrated," the AWPer told HLTV when giving his feelings on the game. "Individually I felt really bad and that's what is right in front of me right now."

After his elimination from Esports World Cup, device gave a short interview to HLTV to discuss the series and his thoughts on Astralis bogey team, TYLOO.

Listen to the interview here.

First off, can I have your thoughts on that series?

Just really sad or frustrated, I think that I could have made the difference in a lot of rounds and of course there are many mistakes and good things that happened throughout a game like that. But yeah, individually I felt really bad and that's what is right in front of me right now.

As a team, what do you think let you down in this series?

I think it's a bit different from map to map. On Overpass CT we needed to be more dynamic in the mid-round, because we were just playing three A two B, or three B two A, and losing. We didn't have these problems in practice, so that's one thing.

Then on Train, we were leading and I think we just let them into the game. We could have played better rounds from 7-0 moving forwards. The most crucial round we lost was after winning the force-buy on T side, we lost the round after because we were not fast enough at giving the communication and reacting to what they were doing. A lot of those details matter, but then again I think about a lot of those misses with the AWP, and I am frustrated about that.

TYLOO seem to have your number a little bit, the third time they have beaten you in recent events. What about them is tough for you guys?

I think they don't give up. If you give them a way into the game, I think they find a way to win with that, even though it's different players playing well. JamYoung wasn't there on the third map today, they just destroyed us anyway. I think they have a good mentality of not giving up, and they're trying to figure out the way to get into the game against us, and yeah, in some way they are forcing us to not play our best. It's not always just our mistakes, but obviously something from them as well.
